Human Appeal strives to alleviate poverty, transform and empower local communities whilst championing humanity, impartiality, neutrality and independence. For over 25 years, we’ve been united by our simple human instinct to help others, regardless of creed or colour. We are here for all of humanity not just part of it.

There are a number of ways you can get involved with the rewarding work Human Appeal carry out. Whether taking on an exhilarating challenge, attending our events, raising funds to support our projects worldwide or volunteering, we have something for everyone! Become a part of the Human Appeal family and help bring about positive change to some of the most vulnerable people worldwide.

Wrap Up

We are wrapping up Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow. Donate a coat from 12th - 23rd November.

Do something warm this winter

It’s back for the 3rd year running. In partnership with Hands On London, we’re spreading the warmth by wrapping up Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow.

So, if you have an old winter coat to spare, now’s your chance to hand it over to someone who really needs it.

Wrap Up is an award-winning winter campaign. You hand over your spare winter coat and we re-home it to charities that support the homeless, refugees, children living in poverty and people fleeing domestic violence. Simple. We’re into one thing only – keeping people warm.

38 charities were supported across Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow.

How to donate your coat

This year, we need men’s, women’s, and children’s coats - especially men’s coats – so we can help keep Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow warm. You can hand your coat over at one of the drop off points below in November and we’ll re-home it in the following weeks.

Where to donate

Drop off your coat(s) at Manchester Piccadilly Station from 12th - 14th and 17th November from 7.00am - 11.00am.

If you'd like to send your old coats via CollectPlus, the first 250 labels are completely free to download. You can include as many coats as you like, up to 10kg. Your package can be up to 50x50x60cm in size. The label on your parcel should be clearly placed so that it is easy to scan. You can find out more about packaging and labelling here. Note coats donated via CollectPlus are supporting Wrap up Manchester and Wrap up Birmingham.

Please note that we will not be able to receive your coat donation after 23rd November.
